The Cherry Orchard: A Permanent Vacation

Okay, please finish The Cherry Orchard by next week, when we'll miraculously travel back in time to the early 1800s with the Romantics. Write two blogs. In one, you must somehow discuss comedy (video encouraged). In the other you may catharsis or anagnorisis. Awwww! And just in time for Valentine's Day!

Also this week you must read one poem or short story from any of the following literary magazines available exclusively in the library: Tin House, Poetry, The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly by next Monday. Please note you may not take out magazines; they are only for reading in the reading room. You may not read digitally for this exercise.

Secondly, you must read "Cherry Ripe" by Thomas Campion and create some sort of visualization of it. You may do this digitally, with collage, drawing, whatever you like as long as it is visually appealing.
